Director Statement

Leda's premise is to express visually the timing and motives of feminine eroticism. This timing is slow and mysterious; its movement is soft, almost cute. Female eroticism feels necessarily true and beautiful. It seems that the feminine erotic moment I am trying to express, pleasure always comes along with pain.
Leda is a poem through movement, a free interpretation of the classical myth of Leda and the swan, where the subtlety of movement should be naturally destroyed.
